New Buffet

Chinese Restaurant $ 3.8 (253)


The New Buffet offers a mix of Chinese cuisine that many find enjoyable, with reasonably good prices for the portion sizes. Some customers feel that the authenticity of the food is mixed, as it leans more towards Americanized versions, yet certain dishes receive praise for their flavor. While the service is typically friendly, it can sometimes be slow, especially during off-peak hours.

" This is not the best buffet I've ever been to, but not the worst either. When I visited, some food was lukewarm and didn't have a lot of flavor. I appreciated the cleanliness and décor, and the ice cream station was fun. The friendly staff did attempt to make it a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dining experience at New Buffet. I loved the variety of options they provided, especially the grilled shrimp; they were well-seasoned. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting. Service was friendly, and the portions were generous. I'm planning to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to drop by after hearing good things about New Buffet. Very impressed! The lo mein had a depth of flavor I didn't expect, and their selection was larger than anticipated. Service was delightful, and I left feeling quite full and satisfied. A definite return is in order! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance was great, the food did not impress me this time. Overall flavors felt flat. I couldn't find a dish that thrilled me, except maybe the fried wontons which were quite decent. I missed more authenticity, and the service appeared distracted. Disappointing overall, as I expected better. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit, I noted how clean and organized the restaurant was. That being said, the food was slightly disappointing—most of it was lukewarm and not filled up promptly. It felt unwelcoming at some points due to lack of service after being seated. A bit more hospitality would certainly elevate the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently visited the New Buffet and I found it quite appealing. After a few visits, I can say their fried rice and orange chicken are strong options. The staff does work adequately even during peak hours. However, it's the variety of the buffet that keeps bringing me back, and I'll certainly recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a regular at New Buffet, and there's a reason for that! Food quality is often great, and their crab legs on special nights are a real treat. It’s a family-run place that feels warm and welcoming. Just remember to visit during busy hours for the freshest food and greatest selection. I love both their takeout and dining-in options. Highly recommend the spicy hot chicken! " (*Curated Review*)
